Still around!

It seems the longer I don't post, the longer it takes me to post because I have so much I need to catch up on. Make sense?...Not!

I completed the Run for the Kids in Melbourne on 1st April, it was awesome! Running through the Domain tunnel, over the Bolte Bridge with 33,000 other runners. It go a bit crowded in parts, but mostly fun. I was aiming for sub 1.30...I made it in 1.29.01 including a toilet stop...STOKED! I came 10,005th out of the 33,000 odd runners.

After the Devonport Run on 18 March and the Run for the Kids I was feeling a bit run down. I decided to take Easter off running. We did quite a lot of bush walks, so I got some exercise in and burnt some energy. I slept in for 4 days (6.30am - 7am instead of 5.30am) and relaxed quite a bit.

Really ready to get back into it now. I have a plan - the Launceston Ten on 17 June and the I will go for the Melbourne Half again on 7 October with my sisters. Part of my training for the Melbourne half will include swimming and bike riding as I want to do the Pinkie Triathlon in Melbourne on 27 January 2012. It is quite achievable - 3km run, 9km bike, 300m swim. The only problem for me is the swim is first and the logistics of running and bike riding whilst wet and in some sort of bathing suit thing (with a larger than average chest) is a daunting prospect! I need to do some research, surely I am not the only one with this dilemma.

My smoker, never done any exercise husband is on a health kick at the moment so it could work in my favour in the support/motivation department. He has offered to assist with dinners, the low cal, low carb variety. He is a qualified chef after all. Since he doesn't cook for a living anymore I think it more than reasonable that he assists, plus he is so much quicker than me!

As I say every blog post, I need to get my eating sorted and everything will be rosy! I really notice the effect good food has on my body and exercise performance. I want more of that.
